luv to play CONCACAF games with refs that are terrified to give cards
-
if you added up the hit probabilities of the 4 consecutive hits starting at Chatwood, it would combine for like 60% -
maybe the dumbest inning of the year

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 6-8-17
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Paredes has a sub-.700 OPS in Low A, we can be interested and hopeful about him without exaggeration. On the position player side alone, Eloy, Happ, Caratini, Candelario, Burks, and Zagunis would easily rank ahead of him, to say nothing of less certain guys like Vosler or Martinez. -
same lineup as Venezuela but with Altidore for Wood [tweet] [/tweet]

Kyle Hendricks: Somehow Greg Maddux
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Aaron_Kennelly's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
me, learning Montgomery finally gets to start, but at Hendricks' expense -
here's the full text: I would assume that's more about infidelity than DV, although I guess he could have threatened her via text.

This is the frustrating part to me, that there's basically nothing on that front from his wife or something like a police report. While I'm hoping that the truth is that friend misinterpreted some past conversation or something like that, I don't want to minimize a potentially very bad situation and one that is underreported and underpunished. At what point is an instagram comment from someone not in the relationship damning evidence, and at one point is saying it's not enabling the larger problem?

I'm more and more okay with it, but I was checking this morning and I'm having a hard time seeing a big motivation for the Giants. They can afford him, they don't want to pack it up and rebuild, and next year their only rotation guys are Bumgarner/Samardzija/Blach, maybe Beede if things go well. Sure they'll be a player in FA and/or trying to bring back Cueto, but if they deal Samardzija they're staring down a 2018 rotation that is Bumgarner and 4 unknowns.

Makeup =/= being a friendly/amiable person Lackey isn't a counterpoint to makeup being important/valued. Chapman was, but even then he was only a rental and his concerns were almost entirely unrelated to him relating to his teammates or his performance on the field.

If the Braves are more pessimistic about his future they could see it as an opportunity to maximize their value(prices are higher at the deadline too), they've never been huge cheerleaders of Teheran anyway. At AAA and above alone they have Dickey, Garcia, Colon, Folty, Wisler, Newcomb, and Sims so they wouldn't be creating a hole(the idea isn't 'oh man we have to trade someone now to make room'). No one's saying that you get Teheran by trading Zagunis and Justin Steele and calling it a day, but relative to other guys who the Cubs might peg to similar future values he could be available(an increasing problem given everyone in the AL is 2 games out of the wild card) and less expensive.
-
Unless there's a compelling reason to think Teheran is hurt, then yes I would jump all over buying low on Teheran's crappy May. And his 17% K-rate and diminishing velocity? I'd rather just run Eddie Butler or Montgomery out there than give up anything of value for Julio Teheran. I don't really see diminished velocity from Teheran, especially given the data issue with making comparisons to previous years cloudy. He's obviously had a terrible stretch, but that can pretty easily be flukish and/or a mechanical tweak away from being resolved. But that's how buying low works, there's always going to be legitimate reason to say 'ew I don't want that', but now that the Braves are seeing very clearly they aren't in contention and they still have a jillion arms to make room for, getting Teheran at a discount has the potential to work very well.
-
But he suuuuucks, his "good" years have come with FIPs between 4.2-4.5. I wouldn't mind throwing them a prospect to rent Garcia before or after a bigger trade. I guess that's better than Julio Teheran's 5.70 FIP. Unless there's a compelling reason to think Teheran is hurt, then yes I would jump all over buying low on Teheran's crappy May.

Scherzer has 11 K's through 4 innings in LA.

He wasn't very good defensively to start the year.

Ozuna's routes in the outfield are reminiscent of a moth

I was out of town and didn't watch any of the Cardinals series so I forgot that Happ existed for a minute
